Hi Clare,

I've had this before. One of our u8-u11's was small for his age but also held back a year at school. I had to go through our local FA and league, who in turn went to the main FA. I had to get a written report answering specific question from his school and parents and give details such as height/weight.

It resulted in being given special dispensation to allow him to play down a year. 

Hope this helps

Shane
